Chapter 61: The Choice of Poverty~Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
Port, Octopus Tavern.
At this moment, it was already dark.
Other places have long since become silent, leaving only the sound of the waves.
However, the Octopus Tavern is different.
The bright red lights make the huge red wooden octopus on the sign more conspicuous, and the noise attracts people's attention.
Except for some special holidays, there is no curfew at Hans Harbor.
However, most people maintain a routine of working from sunrise to sunset.
As for the pub?
Subsistence civilians don't come here.
People with a certain amount of wealth and self-sufficiency will not come here. They prefer to go to clubs and other places.
Therefore, there is a group of people gathered here who have some spare money but no higher status.
Most of them are crew members.
Some are mercenaries.
There are also some pirates mixed in.
Of course, bounty hunters are indispensable.
Therefore, the tavern is a mixed bag, so you won't be surprised to meet any kind of people.
And people here are also used to minding their own business and not caring about other people.
Peters was among them, very inconspicuous.
Just like his ordinary face that makes people forget it at a glance.
"A glass of ale and a plate of dried fish."
Peters took out the 6 Del and placed it on the bar.
After the bartender put six coins into the money box, he started pouring wine and filling it with dried fish.
Ale is served in large barrels, and a cup costs 2 del.
The dried fish is made in-house by BaZhao Tavern and tastes good.
On the first day he came to the Octopus Tavern, Peters fell in love with this food.
Sitting in front of the bar, Peters took a sip of ale mixed with water, chewed small dried fish, and frowned slightly.
The crisis at Hans Harbor was much greater than he imagined!
It’s not just the old rival, the ‘Abandoned World Sect’.
The 'Abrasion Society', the 'Revival Society', and the 'Federation' all joined in.
What should Jason do?
Peters frowned even more when he thought of his former employer.
With Jason's personality, he would definitely not leave his cousin behind.
Even if that cousin is one of the destroyers of the genre and Jason is the seed of the 'Bear Tower', it's the same.
It’s been a long time waiting.
Fate is playing tricks on you again.
well!
After sighing, Peters picked up another small dried fish and put it in his mouth.
After the salty taste, there is the slightly sweet fish meat.
Very delicious.
Peters frowned slightly.
Then, he thought of 'Revival' and 'Federation' again.
What I overheard just now made the swordsman of 'Cat Cave' completely disappointed with the 'Revival Society'.
If it was just a last resort to use gunpowder, the 'Cat Cave' swordsman would understand. After all, he was facing the enemy.
Can……
Now we have joined forces with the ‘enemy’!
For profit!
Compared to Jason who had no choice but to do so, this was the most despicable behavior.
"Hume, facing this kind of 'revival meeting', I'm afraid your heart is full of disappointment, right?"
"I just hope you won't be impulsive."
"Handle these things calmly."
"Hopefully we can meet again."
Silently praying for his junior brother in his heart, the swordsman "Maodong" thought of another problem he faced: the "borrowed" warehouse had become the stronghold of the "Abrasion Society".
Although there is a high possibility that it will be abandoned later, it is no longer suitable for him to 'live'.
Can you ask Jason to take you in for a night?
No room required.
A blanket or sofa in the living room is fine.
At least a tree trunk to block the wind would be good.
It just so happened that he also wanted to tell Jason the news.
It's a complete win-win.
It was those guys who had some trouble finding me after they came to Hans Harbor.
You need to find a job as soon as possible.
Peters, who was thinking, was about to leave.
As for staying in a hotel?
terribly sorry.
He has no money.
The last money in my pocket was just spent on dried small fish.
After drinking all the ale in the cup and holding the last piece of dried fish on the plate in his mouth, Peters stood up.
This was originally a very common action.
But, with Peters standing.
The tavern, which was noisy just a moment ago, became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Even if Peters was an idiot, he would have realized something was wrong at this time.
He calmly held the dagger and glanced around slightly.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, closed their mouths, and looked ahead with dull eyes. Then, like puppets on strings, they stood up unsteadily and surrounded Peters.
"The heir to 'Cat Cave', Peters."
“I didn’t expect to catch such a big fish.”
A voice filled with joy came from the crowd.
Peters could confirm that he had never heard this sound before.
But Peters had some guesses about the origin of the sound.
Abrasion will happen!
Peters could think of no other organization than this one.
In fact, the next moment, the other party personally confirmed Peters' guess.
"Swordsman of the 'Cat Cave', how dare you spy on two adults."
"I thought you had so many comrades."
"It turned out to be just one person..."
"Catch him for me."
As soon as the voice gave the order, everyone in the tavern rushed towards Peters like crazy.
With one leap, Peters jumped onto the rafter.
He scanned the chaotic crowd, trying to find the person who controlled everything.
But there were too many people.
The scene was too chaotic.
He couldn't find the target at all.
So……
The only option is to evacuate first.
Thinking of this, Peters started running on the rafters. His whole body was light and dexterous, and he approached the door of the tavern in one breath.
Jumping down, Peters rushed out of the tavern.
But the moment he rushed out, a large net silently fell from the sky and directly enveloped him.
Clang!
The dagger glowed with a cold light in the night.
A hole was cut in the net, and Peters got out.
But a net suddenly rose under Peters' feet.
Caught off guard, Peters was thrown in.
At the same time, several ropes made of cowhide leaped out from the shadows and directly tied Peters up.
"Oh, 'Cat Cave'?"
With a chuckle filled with sarcasm, a figure walked out.
The other party looked at Peters sarcastically, and Peters looked at the other party in astonishment.
This 'Abrasion Society' hunter enjoys this kind of hunting.
Especially the expression of surprise and disbelief on the prey's face made the hunter of the 'Abrasion Society' feel even more joyful. It was like experiencing a 'baptism' of joy.
However, after a while, the hunter from the 'Abrasion Society' realized something was wrong.
Peters seemed to be looking behind him?
What can be behind you?
Subconsciously, the hunter from the 'Abrasion Society' turned his head.
A mask looking down at a hockey player and a broad-bladed short-handled machete raised high appeared in the eyes of this 'Abrasive Society' hunter.
"wait……"
The other party was shocked and opened his mouth to shout, but before his voice came out, the machete had already been swung down.
